AirPlay is Apple’s proprietary wireless streaming protocol, enabling users to send audio and video content from Apple devices to compatible receivers like smart TVs and speakers. Historically, Netflix supported AirPlay functionality, allowing users to stream content from their iPhones, iPads, or Macs to their televisions via an Apple TV or other AirPlay-enabled devices.
Support for this feature offered convenience, allowing viewers to easily share Netflix content on larger screens without the need for cables or dedicated streaming devices directly connected to the television. However, changes in technology and business strategy have led to a shift in Netflix’s AirPlay support. Initially, a key benefit was its ability to offer a multi-device streaming capability, increasing user satisfaction and device flexibility.
